Celebrating Litha - The Midsummer Solstice
Jun 23, 2025
The Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere
The Summer Solstice is the point of the year when the light has reached its peak.
The earth is buzzing and alive, flowers are opening a little more each day, and we’re being blessed with the longest and strongest daylight.
But Midsummer is not just a seasonal turning point.
It marks a sacred threshold: a portal of radiance, abundance, and also inner reflection.
It’s an invitation to come together with others and to gather the first fruits - like strawberries & cherries, but also of life.
The things you sowed last spring are blooming now.
☀️ Maybe this season is asking you to shine brighter.
🌿 Or maybe it’s asking you to slow down and receive.
🌕 Maybe it’s time to celebrate.
🌑 Or time to surrender, gently and fully, to the unknown.
My Midsummer 2025
For me personally, Midsummer in Sweden looked like this:
- 10 hours of celebration
- It all started with the women picking flowers in the early afternoon.
- Then, together, we made flower wreaths while the men prepared the Midsummer pole.
- When it was all set up, we danced around the Midsummer pole in circles, singing silly Midsommar songs, playing even sillier games, finishing the day with lots of homemade food.
Misdummer is all about fun and the celebration of life.
Making you forget about all the seriousness and heaviness of the world for a little while.
Traditions and ceremonies like these are so precious and special, especially if you can do them with family and friends.
How to celebrate this special time of the year
Even if the actual Solstice is already over, you can still be very mindful of this summer season.
But as abundant as Litha is, we also might want to check in with ourselves from time to time to see where we might live on overdrive or even in excess. Too much of something is never good, even if it's too much of the good things or things we enjoy. We cannot go outside and be extroverted all the time. We still need to rest and appreciate periods of darkness, even if the nights might be short. We need time to replenish and rejuvenate.
To celebrate Litha and Summer in general, surround yourself with the abundance that's evident all around you. Cast your circle with freshly picked flowers, enjoy nature's first fruits, and her playful, lighthearted energy. If you can, spend as much time as you can outside, surrounded by the incredible abundance and beauty everywhere.
Ask yourself:
'What is in abundance in my life right now?'
'What aspects of my life are in full expression?'
'What aspects of my life need a little bit more expression?'
'How can I celebrate life more?'
'Where am I living in excess and where do I need to cut back a little?'
May you rise with the sun and root deeper than ever before.
This is your moment to bloom.
